Hi guys! So this started to happens recently, never did that before. I have a wave60 that start at 100% battery after plugged/charged all night long. after 3-4 hours of use it have dropped to 76% (100% then 92%, 84% then 76%). I left the wave on here without using it for 5min, then when I use it back after 5min and try to go forward (or reverse) the bdi from instantly from 76% to 0% witht he "charge battery" message. So.. it goes 100% to 0% in like 4 hours... normally I can do 4-5 days and its not even at 20% lol!

There is a crown tech that checked the batteries, and out of the 4 batteries this is only 1 battery that is a little bit weaker so he said the 3 other batteries need to push more to compensate for the small loss the weaker battery have. Well... is this normal? even if there is 1 battery that is a bit weaker its not suppose to drop from 100% to 0% in like 3-4 hours of use! Whats the problem? I heard to check the battery voltage when the wave will be at 0% because maybe the battery could still be full after 3 hours but the wave sees them at 0% is this true? if yes then its the bdi that is faulty? If not then I don't see how it can goes drastically to 0% in 4 hours and also going from 76% to 0% in an instant??

Thanks in advance!
